Mall Carwashes

[carbomb]

been in megamall last weekend then on my way up to the parking lot sa taas may kumakaway na wash boy ito yung mobile carwash boy na mahal maningil sa simpleng carwash. so yun nga ingnore ko kc bagong linis naman yung auto bakit pa nya kami tatawagin? so nag park kmi agad then immediately pasok agad sa mall para makarami. pag balik namin nakita ko ulit yung carwash boy na tumawag sa kin kani-kanina lang na may nililinis na sasakyan sa tabi ko and guess what, ginawa pang tuntungan ng paa nya yung gulong ng auto ko para makasampa at mapunasan yung ford explorer na katabi ko. tsk tsk tsk. sinaway ko sabay tawag ng guard. well, alam ko wala rin namang kapupuntahan reklamo ko and late na rin naman,so check ko na lang kung nagasgasan ako ng mokong nung nakita kong wala naman umuwi na kami ng anak at asawa ko. another thing is medyo takaw gasgas auto yung mobile carwash nila yung iba kc pilit sinisingit in between ng mga sasakyan para malapit sa nililinisan nila.

ganun talaga sila. they dont care as much as we do. be it, di kasi sila nakakaintindi ng "car care." mostly ngayon pag tinanggihan mo pa eh babawian ka patalikod. sana tinuloy mo ang reklamo. tigas muka ng mga ganun eh

Never ever have your car cleaned by them. Why? They use rubbing compound!!! Have you seen their stash ng panglinis?? Turtlewax rubbing compound yung nakita ko last time.

[oldblue]

dapat talaga ipag-bawal yan mga yan sa parking lot. they can be lookouts for their thief buddies.

yup. danger in many ways like they could also be the thief pero di naman sa nagbibintang kc for me dapat walang tao aaligid aligid sa mga parking lots except the roaming guards. so kung may iba pang aaligid aligid dyan medyo suspected car thief na yan. and they can even scracth your car sa mga mobile carts nila. and kung ayaw mong magpalinis kc nga malinis na yung car mo pag balik mo makikita mo yung katabi mo malinis kc nilinis na nila at yung auto mo naman nabasa at puro finger prints at mga marka ng pawis ng carwash boy kc ginawang sandalan habang nilillinis yung katabi mong auto.

nangyari na sa akin yan. badtrip na badtrip ako. kakatapos ko lang mag 2 step detailing tapos ang daming tilamsik ng auto. eh under the sun pa un, so ayun natuyo na. sa inis ko tinawag ko ung guard sabi ko pagsabihan ung mga ganon. eh mukhang wala din naman ginawa ung guard.

what's with the rubbing compound pards? please enlighten me.

Bro, rubbing compound is like a very fine sandpaper only in a compound form. It is abrasive. Would you like these guys to use abrasive materials on your car without your supervision? I don't think they also wash the car first, do they? If not then that's worse - the dirt will act as grittier sand paper and make so many scratches!

[christel_chops]

This issue should best be brought up to the management of the establishment. Could this be an extension of their services in the parking area? It's not a profitable venture, heard some stories of the carwash guys begging for business as very few avail of their service..

[oldblue]

yah, they can easily get disgruntled pag na-turn down ng sunod-sunod ng like 10 new parking cars. hindi naman professional mga 'to, mga tambay lang na binigyan ng uniform

[fearless]

grabe talagang mga eto, minsan kahit malinis ang car mo tinatanong ka pa kung gusto mong magpa carwash,minsan naman style nila kunwari tumutulong sa pag park ng kotse mo, tapos sabay tanong kung gusto mong magpa carwash.

nakakita nga ako niyan minsan may isang naka park na bmw na may katabing nagpapacarwash na suv,naku puro tilamsik yung bmw,siguro pagbalik nung may ari,malamang galit na galit yun.

talagang bang kailangan ng ganitong mobile carwash sa parking lot?

[buriroy]

Matagal na rin akong bwisit dito sa mga carwash sa parking area ng
SM malls.

Pag yung katabi mong auto nag pa carwash, sigurado matitilamsikan
yung car mo, buti king pupunasan nila, kaso hahayaan lang nila
kaya pagnatuyo nagkaka-stain yung car mo.

What SM management should do is to designate a certain area
of the carpark for these carwash activities. After all, the main
reason you go to the malls is to shop, see a movie, or dine out.

When I want my car cleaned I go to a real carwash. For those
who seek "convenience" by "multi-tasking" (shopping na, carwash pa!)
magsama-sama na sila sa isang area so hindi madamay yung iba!

[FedEx]

well akin nagpalinis ako one time pagkatapos eh malinis naman un lng nga nung napunta na sa araw ung auto, ung dumi sa sides di nila dinamay ayun

That's why you should pick your parking slots carefully. Whenever I go to a place that is rife with those green&blue-clad car killers, I try to find a spot that has the least number of "neighbors" -- usually next to a post or adjacent to a wall. That way, you lessen the chance of their pushcart and water-wands hitting your car. Lessen lang ha.. hindi eliminate.

One time, in market market.... from the time I paid my parking ticket, meron nang green&blue boy na pinag-initan yung kotse ko. He followed me and tried to help find me a spot. I didn't want to park at the first level --- may favorite spot na ako sa basement. So I ignored him and went straight to the basement. ABA! Nag sprint siya and followed my car. I parked in the isolated spot doon sa aisle nearest the grocery entrance. 10 seconds later... he was there already helping me to park. THen he popped the 500php question ser carwash? I politely declined. POLITELY. Ayun.. he smiled pero yumuko and he dragged his body away. Takot tuloy ako. When he was out of sight, I moved my car someplace else...baka pag-initan pa ako. BTW, at that time, I just did a 2-step on my car (black). It was so clean. Kala niya siguro easy-money yon dahil malinis na.. konting buga lang ng hangin to blow off the road dust... tapos na.

Kung gulong lang sa akin walang problema.


Dapat maeducate din mabuti yung mga carwash boys.

I think its just right to give them a chance to earn a living,

Yung may ari ang puntiryahan

agree ako sayo bro..give them a chance para di sila tambay habang buhay...kc gusto lang naman nilang kumita ng pera sa mabuting paraan, ksa na magnakaw sila.

On top of that naman they should know their responsibility, pero sa case nila which for sure, not knowing the feeling of having their own car talagang hindi mo ieexpect na maging pareho ang attitude nila towards a vehicle. On our part maybe we should talk to them nicely Ive actually done that. I just dont know kung pumasok sa utak nya. hehehehehe

(On the side, ganyan ang katwiran ng mga PUV driver, d bale ng tarantado sa kalsada basta hinid naman daw nagnanakaw.) BS i must say. Grrrrr!!!

[aizen]

this idea sucks first they endanger other peoples car second mahal ang singil 3rd its not very satisfying .. dapat talaga wala sila dun

It's not only the car wash at sm megamall, but all mobile carwashes. They're priced quite high, compared to outside car washes, and that's for such little water used. Yun ang nakakatakot. Kung talagang madumi oto mo, gasgas ang abot dahil konti lang tubig nila. I tried it once, but after that, never did again.

[mazdamazda]

dito sa office maraming ganyan...

one time na kakalinis ko pa lang ng kotse, tinanong ako kung gusto ko pa carwash. sabi ko, "eh kaka linis ko pa lang nyan kaninang umaga ha... tingnan mo".

tapos sabi sa akin kung gusto ko daw wax, magaspang na daw yung paint surface (sabay salat sa hood). iniisip ko na lang eh, naka clay & seal (Klasse) yung auto ko tapos sasabihan mo ako ng ganyan.

oh well... trabaho lang naman nila yun... can't really blame them for trying.
